The Saints are trading starting safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson to the Eagles, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. After talks of a potential contract extension broke down, New Orleans began to look for a trade suitor for the defensive back. It’s unclear what Philadelphia gave up in the deal for its new starting defensive back.
Gardner-Johnson was selected in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL draft out of Florida and has been with the Saints ever since. He tallied three interceptions last season, adding two sacks and 46 tackles in 12 games.
